It is now practical to write software for real-time systems long before the actual computer hardware is sitting in a physical prototype. In today’s world it is rare to find electromechanical devices ...

Embedded software and electronics represent an increasing percentage of the engineering content of an automobile. By 2010, electronics are expected to comprise 40 percent of automotive material costs, ...

Most embedded systems are reactive by nature. They measure certain properties of their environment with sensors and react on changes. For example, they display something, move a motor, or send a ...

One of the biggest bottlenecks in the software development process for electronic products is that hardware is not available until late in the cycle. That means embedded software developers need to ...

In this lesson, you will learn the main concepts behind event-driven programming, which, after object-oriented programming, is another fundamental stepping stone in understanding modern embedded ...

MITRE, in collaboration with researchers from three other organizations, this week released a draft of a new threat-modeling framework for makers of embedded devices used in critical infrastructure ...

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B has gotten an upgrade focused on making it an even better tool for serious embedded applications engineers and makers looking to explore more advanced applications such as ...

Embedded systems are increasingly prevalent in nearly every aspect of human life. Innovations made possible by embedded systems are making our lives healthier, safer, cleaner, and more stimulating.

Computer engineering encompasses a wide range of topics surrounding this interaction between hardware and software. Computer engineers of the future will be versatile full-stack developers, ...

Any electronic system that uses a computer chip but is not a general-purpose desktop or laptop computer, tablet or smartphone. Embedded systems use microcontrollers (MCUs), microprocessors (MPUs) or ...

One of the biggest dreams anyone has is to make a living doing what they love. For all hackers, makers, and DIYers with a passion for embedded systems, it may make sense initially to pursue embedded ...
